Note that the "Huron" of Canada are the "Wyandot(te)" of the U.S., and are to be found not only in Oklahoma but also in Kansas, though not recognized there by the U.S. government. "8endake" is apparently the Huron/Wyandot name for their original homeland. > So I don't know, you maybe right, it might be an Iroquoian word after > all... but I'm still not sure... In Brantford, Ont. there is a tourist attraction called "Kanata Iroquois Village", showing that the word is surely Iroquoian in origin. -- John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.reutershealth.com I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan han mathon ne chae, a han noston ne 'wilith. --Galadriel, _LOTR:FOTR_
